Hi,

What is the right cron job command to run these urls once a day:

“http://example.com/wp-cron.php?import_key=etCacQiuod&import_id=10&action=trigger”
“http://example.com/wp-cron.php?import_key=etCacQiuod&import_id=15&action=trigger”
“http://example.com/wp-cron.php?import_key=etCacQiuod&import_id=9&action=trigger”
“http://example.com/wp-cron.php?import_key=etCacQiuod&import_id=16&action=trigger”

Thanks,

You can use the following to run the command once a day:

0 0 * * * curl -s "http://example.com/wp-cron.php?import_key=etCacQiuod&import_id=10&action=trigger" > /dev/null 2>&1

Repeat for each URL

You can use wget and curl also in crontab

Example :- 0 0 * * * wget URL
0 0 * * * curl URL
